Context: Joachim Wtewael was a leading Mannerist painter in the Netherlands, favoring the twisting figures and elegant poses that had spread from Italy throughout Europe in the late 1500s. Paris was asked to determine which goddess-Minerva, Juno, or Venus-was the most beautiful in the universe. Paris is seated on the rock at the right awarding the prize, a golden apple, to Venus.
